Taylor is the Man of the 1st Half

Boniek Garcia scored the Dynamo goal, but Jermaine Taylor was the Man of the 1st Half against D.C. United in the second leg of the Eastern Conference Championship.’

Taylor, who had missed the last two games with a left knee strain, is cleaning up everything in his direction. He’s winning hard tackles and also showcasing a deft touch to play out of the back.

As a matter of fact, Taylor, Bobby Boswell, Corey Ashe and Kofi Sarkodie have been magnificent on defense. Most of United’s scoring threats have actually been byproducts of the forwards losing the ball up top.

The midfield has been strong, as usual. Great job so far by Ricardo Clark and Adam Moffat to dominate central midfield while Brad Davis and Garcia spark the attack.
